No single disease has entailed more suffer

The poison il distributes throughout the sys-

the most robust of constitutions Ignored
because but little understood. by most physi-
clans, impotently assailed by quacks and
charlatans, those suffering from il have little
hope to be relieved of it this side of the

Horse Breeders ASSOCIATION will be held
at Commodore KittSon's office, in st.
Paul, Wednesday, Dee. II. For several
reasons it is very desirable that a large
number of members should be present,
as a number of matters will come before
the meeting of much more than ordinary
Importance. One of the subjects of con-
sideratiOn will be the proposal to change
the distance for youngsters to trot. 1t
is claimed that good deal can be said
against the proposed change The
change, if made. will be an important
one and ought to be thoroughly consid-

What Will the Young Lady Do?

New ! OK sun.
A very charming young lady, with an
autograph album in her hand, APP
preached Mr.. E. NJ. ROssiter, the treas
urer of the New York Central railroad,
at a social gathering few evenings ago
aid requested him to add his name to
her collection.
"See," she said, II have only names
of prominent men in my album, and |
have long wanted yours to complete
it,
Mr.. Rossiter was fiattered, but he
said:
''Oh, 1 don't believe you care very
much for my autograph"
''Indeed l do" asserted the lady. 81
wouldn't miss getting it for anything -
Not for hundred dollar biIl?''
asked the New York Central'S treasurer.
NO, not for hundred dollar bill.''
Mr.. ROsSiter took the album, and with
stylOgraphic pen wrote on a blank
pages of the book check on the Chem
zeal National bank for 800, payable to
the young lady.
There" he said, as he handed her
the album, Il have taken you at your
word. You can take your choice be-
tween keeping my autograph OF parting
with it and getting the hundred-doIlar
bill.''
The lady was highly delighted at this
addition to her album. and showed it to
her father. He is a business man, and
his first act after reading the check was
to turn it over and glance at the back.
There, in bold hand, was the indorSe-

and habitual smokers have been de-
ceived.- At a recent gathering in this
city cigars made from this paper to
baccO were passed around and declared
excellent. Many of those present de-
clared that the cigars were. made from
rare brands, and so well was the imita
ton carried out that one man actually
insisted that there could be no mistake
about the cigars being genuine tobacco.

Mr.. William Lindeke, of the firm OF
Lindeke, Warner d Schurmeier, OWNS a
number of the sons and daughters Of
Western Chief. All of them are well
bred and show disposition to trot fast.
MIR. Lindeke is not, in the sport
ing sense of that word, a
hOrSeman. but he likes a good horse
nevertheless, and drives these sons and
daughters of Western Chief on the road
and before his family carriage. He has
very high opinion of them. not only
because of their trOtting qualities, but
also because they are very useful AMI
mails for all service. He has sent four
of his fillieS down to SherwOod'S farm
to be bred to WOGdford Wilkes. Z. Il.
Barden, a son of K. Barden being inter-
ested i'll the produce of the old horse,
has been making some inquiries lately
about the sons and daughters of the
Chief. He finds that H. c. Clark, of
COldwater, Mich, OWNS a filly by him
that is very promising indeed. She is
named Cott0nette and is out of Cotton
picker, by Red Duke. Mr.. Clark
writes that she IS gong very 1aSt. lie
has been jogging her on the road and
expects to have great mare next year.
She showed him mile in 2:2619 over a
poor half mile track, The last quarter
in 81 seconds, and he thinks she could
certainly trOt in 2:22 or 2::223 on good
mile track. At Adrian she trOtted a
quarter in 81 seconds. Mr.. Clark has
had number of offers for her, but none
of them came up to his idea of her value.
He closes his letter as follows: Il have
owned many good ones in my life, but
never owned one or saw one that with
the same amount of work, or under the
same conditions could any where near
compare with her" Mr.. William
Lindeke also OWNS King, by the Chief,
dame TOpsy. by Swigert, that trOtted a
mile at Hamline in 2:3919 with only
four weeks handling. There are many
others by this horse that are fast, and
which tend to prove him to be a getter

THE INSECT WORLD.
Upwards of One Hundred Thousand Spe-
cies Recognized by Scientists.

c1eS Recognized W SclentstSs
Were it possible to take q census of
the individual insects upon the globe,
the result must be an array of figures
of whose meaning we could form little
conception. Members of each species
multiply in countless millions, yet even
he number of distinct species is so
great that we can hardly do more than
guess at it. Entomologists generally
concede that upwards of 100, 900 species
of insects have been recognized, an
some authors place the number as high
as 100000, while it is probable that
these may represent not more than a
tenth of the number actually inhabiting
the earth's surface. Probably not less
than one-half of the indicated forms, :"
says Prof. Heilprin, "belong to the
order Coleoptera, or beetles, which is
by far the most numerously represented
of all the orders. The Lepidop-
terra, or butterflies, have thus far
yielded some $4,000 species-or about
one-thirteenth of the total number
(200,0O0) estimated by Speyer for the
world at large-and an equal number
may, perhaps, be credited to the Hy-
menoptera (bees, wasps and ants), the
Hemiptera (bugs) and Diptera (flies).
The Orthoptera, or straight-winged in
sects, which include the locusts, grass
hoppers, etc, are considerably less nu-
merous, while the species of Melted
forms (Neuroptera) probably number
only about 1000. The insects are most
numerously developed in the tropics,
but they are by no means rare in the
